MSSportsGuy Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 (edited) Blake Levine has reported 1A Thrasher in Prentiss County isn't playing next season due to lack of numbers. That's near my hometown area and their numbers and record have never been good but hate to see another loss in the 1A ranks. Hopefully it's temporary but these things tend not to come back once they are gone. There really should be some consolidation between Thrasher and Jumpertown.

Don't forget about the elimination of 7A either, LOL. As more and more of these small schools start drying up as time goes on, I think the MHSAA will have no choice but to go back to 6 classifications. You know as well as I do that they would try everything in their power to prevent that from happening, but you can't sustain 7 classifications and justify it at the same time. Their greed and corruption would stick out like a sore thumb. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More consolidation will eventually force their hands hopefully 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have crooks hiring crooks, then I don't think the status quo changes very much. Now if you have some ethical people trying to hire ethical leaders, then yes things can change. Unfortunately when power is involved, it tends to bring out the worst in folks and you wind up with corruption. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSSportsGuy Posted April 23 Author Share Posted April 23 With Bama going back to 6 classes (different circumstances but...) maybe that will make the association and their members realize 7A is spreading around the schools too much for miniscule enrollment differences once the top layer is taken care of. Five classes are probably enough for a state our size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebel Bert Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 6 classes or Combine MHSAA and MAIS in some kind of 7 or 8 class structure. Long shot but a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
